2025 Romain Chamiot Apremont Vin de Savoie

This Alpine white comes from Apremont, a mountain cru in the Savoie made almost entirely from the local Jacquère grape. The Chamiot family has farmed vines here for generations. Romain Chamiot studied winemaking in Beaune, then came home to take over from his grandparents and converted the estate to organic farming.

The estate’s seven hectares are split among about 30 small parcels beneath Mont Granier, and the steep slopes mean most of the work is done by hand. The wine is 100% Jacquère, fermented mainly with native yeasts and made without oak. Light and bright, it shows lemon, white peach and white flowers over a clean, stony minerality, with a slightly salty edge and lively acidity.

Serve it well chilled with raclette, fondue, oysters or a simple goat cheese salad.
